| Introduction | When I was in the 7th grade I took some standardized test that concluded I was best suited to be either a librarian or a forest ranger. Instead I became a lawyer who longs to read books in the woods. In this blog, I write about current events, pop culture, history, law, nagging memories and anything that else seems blogworthy. I try to be factually accurate, use quotes when I am quoting, link to source material where it makes sense and link to other interesting sites as often as possible. But ultimately this is a collection of opinions, mine and the Commentors. If you find anything of substance that needs correction, please post it for the benefit of all. |
